A tribute to and celebration of great American men and women, known and unknown, who dared and suffered to speak truth to power. The long and ongoing struggle to put an end to war and the causes of war, and to imagine a better world, is celebrated in story and song, poetry and reminiscence, montage and collage - weighted in the present but rooted in and drawing from the fibers of an American tradition. Those who, like many of us, cut their teeth in the sixties will find poignant reminders of a more hopeful, less troubled, time. Begins with Pete Seeger singing "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" and is introduced by Everett Frost. Ends with a recording of "Come Away Melinda" sung by Judy Collins. Previously cataloged as BC0529A.

The preservation of these tapes was funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and by listeners of Pacifica Radio in 2010. Preservation services provided by George Blood Audio and Video.
